- No, a Windows version should have a Windows look and feel, a Mac version should
- have a Mac look and feel, an OS/2 version should have an OS/2 look and feel and
- finally, the UNIX version should have a UNIX look and feel. Problem: WHICH

- Have you ever tried to use a Dvorak keyboard? It's the same situation as when
- a program switches the meaning of the mouse buttons. Or the direction a text
- scrolls when you click a scrollbar. (Many X apps have very ugly scrollbars, you
- can't see which way it scrolls until you click on it). Consistency is
- important, if not for you, then at least for me.
